On second thought…

Rudy Giuliani put his foot in his mouth this week when he told The Daily Beast that Michael Cohen’s crimes were, frankly, no big deal. “Nobody got killed, nobody got robbed… This was not a big crime,” he told the Beast in an interview on Wednesday.

On Friday, President Trump’s personal lawyer offered a “CORRECTION.”

Cohen was sentenced to three years in prison for, among other charges, campaign finance violations related to the hush-money payments to Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougall, two women alleged to have had affairs with Trump.

  1. I guess Cohen is going to non-jail for a non-crime for what isn’t three years for not paying a porn star that Trump didn’t have an affair with. Two can play this game, Rudy.

  2. If it isn’t a witch-hunt why are they pursuing a non-crime.

    See, Rudy - it is a crime, therefore an investigation of a crime cannot be a witch hunt. “Crimes” exist - “witches” do not.

  3. Avatar for dont dont says:

    Double down on double stupid.
    Why would anyone have this clown as their lawyer?

  4. OT but you heard it here first: Christie said thanks no thanks. BWAHAHAHAHA

  5. He didn’t make a mistake… he just got a bit ahead

    The order is

    Didn’t Happen -> Didn’t Knew About it -> Private Transaction -> Not a Crime -> Nobody died! -> Can’t Indict a President!
